89/392/EEC - Machinery - Safety of machinery: general essential health and safety requirements
Council Directive 89/392/EEC aims to harmonize the laws of EU Member States concerning machinery to ensure a high level of health and safety while facilitating the free movement of machinery within the Community. It defines "machinery" broadly, including assemblies of linked parts with at least one moving component, but excludes certain categories such as mobile equipment, lifting equipment, and machinery powered solely by manual effort. The Directive sets essential health and safety requirements that machinery must meet before being placed on the market or put into service. Compliance with harmonized European standards presumes conformity, and manufacturers are responsible for issuing an EC declaration of conformity and affixing the EC mark. The Directive also establishes procedures for certification, conformity assessment, and market surveillance, including safeguard measures if non-compliant machinery poses risks. Member States must not hinder the marketing or use of compliant machinery. The Directive encourages the development of European harmonized standards by recognized standardization bodies and provides for cooperation between authorities to ensure consistent application and enforcement, ultimately aiming to protect workers, consumers, and property without impeding industrial progress or trade.
Purpose
Council Directive 89/392/EEC aims to harmonize the laws of EU Member States relating to machinery to ensure a high level of health and safety while facilitating the free movement of machinery within the internal market. It establishes essential health and safety requirements for machinery design and construction to reduce workplace risks caused by machinery use. The directive also seeks to eliminate trade barriers caused by differing national regulations and certification systems by introducing common standards and procedures.
Key Obligations

The sound power level (or, in the case of noise bursts or transient noise emission, the sound energy level) produced by the noise source, in frequency bands of width one octave, is calculated using those measurements. The sound power level or sound energy level with frequency A-weighting applied is calculated using the octave-band levels.
The method specified in ISO 3743-1:2010 is suitable for all types of noise (steady, non-steady, fluctuating, isolated bursts of sound energy, etc.) defined in ISO 12001.
The noise source under test may be a device, machine, component or sub-assembly. The maximum size of the source depends upon the size of the room used for the acoustical measurements (see 4.2).
The test environment that is applicable for measurements made in accordance with ISO 3743-1:2010 is a hard-walled test room with prescribed acoustical characteristics.
Information is given on the uncertainty of the sound power levels and sound energy levels determined in accordance with ISO 3743-1:2010, for measurements made in frequency octave bands and for A-weighted frequency calculations performed on them. The uncertainty conforms to ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 2 (engineering grade).

ISO 11204:2010 specifies a method for determining the emission sound pressure levels of machinery or equipment, at a work station and at other specified positions nearby, in any environment which meets certain qualification requirements. A work station is occupied by an operator and may be located in open space, in the room where the source under test operates, in a cab fixed to the source under test, or in an enclosure remote from the source under test. One or more specified positions may be located in the vicinity of a work station, or in the vicinity of an attended or unattended machine. Such positions are sometimes referred to as bystander positions.
Emission sound pressure levels are determined as A-weighted levels. Additionally, levels in frequency bands and C-weighted peak emission sound pressure levels can be determined in accordance with ISO 11204:2010, if required.
A method is given for determining a local environmental correction (subject to a specified limiting maximum value) to be applied to the measured sound pressure levels to exclude the effects of reflections from reflecting surfaces other than the plane on which the source under test is placed. This correction is based upon the mean sound pressure level on a measurement surface, the sound pressure level measured at a specified position, and either an environmental correction or the equivalent absorption area of the test room.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 89/392/EEC covers "Machinery - Safety of machinery: general essential health and safety requirements". There are 431 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 89/392/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 89/392/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
